When Rygel offers Moya's crew to Scorpius in exchange for his own freedom, it falls to D'Argo and Crichton to engineer a diversion that will allow Moya to escape. On board the Command Carrier, Rygel is witness to Scorpius supplanting Crais as Commander, and also to Crais' own crisis of faith. Crichton sees only one way for Moya to escape: he and D'Argo must carry out a spectacular suicide mission to stop Scorpius in his tracks.

Factoid--Anthony Simcoe remembers the final moments of the season being filmed, especially the last shot of D'Argo's hand letting go of Crichton's good luck charm. "They brought down the whole crew – the Creature Shop, construction, and all of admin and production – so there were hundreds of people standing around watching us do this last simple shot. There was big applause and champagne, and it was a touching moment." 

Ben Browder noted that the final line Crichton recorded for his father was written for "Premiere", but not used. "That last address to Dad is the final evolution of season one, I reinserted that line Rockne had written – 'This is John Crichton, somewhere in the universe' – and go to hear it in an entirely different way," he recollects.
